a small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball. which describes how the small ball likely responds when it is released? it will move toward the large ball because like charges repel. it will move toward the large ball because like charges attract. it will move away from the large ball because like charges repel. it will move away from the large ball because like charges attract.

It will move away from the large ball because like charges repel.

Explanation:

Electric force is the force that pushes apart two like charges, or that pulls together two unlike charges. The basic law of electrostatics Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other. When small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball it would be pushed away from the large positively charged ball since they are both positively charged. One has to put in energy to try to move the small ball closer to the large ball. The closer one try to move it to the large ball, the more energy one has to put in, so the more electrical potential energy the small ball would have.
